Thursday, July 28, 2011: Seven more persons have been taken into custody by the Crime Branch team probing the sensational Paravur sex scandal case in which a minor girl was sexually exploited by many including her won father, by promising her role in films.The arrested have been identified as Jijo Antony, Aneesh, Sijo Antony, Fahin, Nishad, Muhammed Niyaas, all natives of Kochi and Benny hailing from Thodupuzha. It is suspected that more than 100 men sexually exploited the girl, including her father, after promising her roles in films.
The sexual abuse of the 14-year-old girl came to light three months ago after her mother lodged a complaint before the police submitting that her husband had forcibly taken the daughter to prostitution. Based on the submissions made by the girl and the mother, the police registered a case and launched a probe.
Though the police were able to arrest a few persons, including the girl’s father and mother in connection with the case, the government handed over the investigation to Crime Branch after there were allegations that the police were trying to help a few high-profile persons belonging to film industry.
